 Episode 367: Helping Your Child with Anxiety with Julie Reynolds | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: Unknown

My guest is Julie Reynolds. For 15 years Julie has worked as both an elementary school teacher, school counselor and therapist.  She has a very deep understanding of the struggles kids face today and has a mission to help as many families as possible! Her new book, "The Warrior Backpack," was written by Julie and illustrated by her daughters, Sophia and Sloane Reynolds (ages 11 and 9). The book is about a boy named Alex who's struggling with anxiety.  But he has a secret weapon:  his "warrior backpack."  He carries this imaginary backpack with him throughout the day, using the strategies it holds to help him calm down.  These easy-to-use tips can be applied in a school setting — or any time a child is feeling anxious.

 Episode 358: Teen Pregnancy with Nicole Lynn Lewis | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: Unknown

My guest today is Nicole Lynn Lewis. In her book, "PREGNANT GIRL", Lewis tells her story of being a Black teen mother who entered William & Mary College and graduated with honors four years later. Now the founder and CEO of the non-profit Generation Hope (which helps teen parents apply to and stay in college), Lewis writes with candor about the many hard choices she had to make about how to afford college and raise her daughter—and the many ways the higher education and financial aid systems are not built for student parents, especially parents of color. At a time when almost a quarter of college students are also mothers or fathers, PREGNANT GIRL is a moving illustration of how difficult it is to balance these two identities, and what changes could and should be made to help these student parents reach their goals.

  Today my guest is Brooke Wyckoff. This past year, Brooke had the opportunity to serve as our Interim Head Coach while our regular head coach Sue Semrau took a single-season leave of absence to care for her mother (her mother is thankfully in remission from ovarian cancer). Not only did Brooke gain experience as a first-time head coach (after 10 years of being an assistant coach), she also tried to be another mouthpiece to speak out about various motherhood issues (work-life balance, the lack of quality maternity leave, encourage other Mothers that they can be a Division I Head Coach AND raise a family). Back in 2014, Brooke co-founded an organization called Moms in Coaching. This is a support group for mothers who are coaching but are unsure if they can be full-time coaches and full-time moms. The motto lately from Brooke is that You can do both. Brooke has a beautiful seven-year old girl named Avery who was born in Nov. 2013. When Brooke was pregnant, she searched around campus for other Moms in athletics that she could bond with during her pregnancy, but there weren’t very many. That’s why she began to start her organization and make it more national.
